Plants that really like wet weather

It was a real treat yesterday to have a morning off that was rain free,so I made the most of it.It’s a mystery why some things really look their best in a damp summer.The Japanese anemones I planted two years ago were miserable the first year which was hot and dry,last year they were a bit better but this [very wet] year,well!It looks like garden takeover time.Then I read somewhere that they hate to have dry roots,so no wonder!It’s a pity Ican’t remember which is which,Iused to be awful at keeping records,but Ithink the white one is Prince Jobert[Idon’t know the name of the little fly on it!] and the pink ones are probably Queen Charlotte and September Charm.My fuchsias also love the wet,Splendens,the first one is sprawling aii over the patio.It’s a species fuchsia thats supposed to be frost tender but I find as long as Ithrow a fleece over it in the coldest weather it survives outside.The other one Ithink is called Coachman, it was given to me by a very dear friend who died suddenly last year so it’s precious to me.
